Laid Off

I found this video on the web.  The most I can seem to find is that the song is called Alice from the Wonderland album by some elctro mixer from down under called Pogo.  It was so infectious that I had to download the song.

I went to see SpeedRacer at the AMC 30 tonight.  The movie blows.  The last five minutes are the best part but do not redeem for the rest of the shity movie.

It took me a few seconds to figure out this kid was Canadian.  The biggest tip off was the mention of Nutella.

The same thing while having diarrhea

I always find traveling large distances by car interesting.  My latest trip for work has taken me to Dyersburg, TN.  The trip is about 8 hours and is a straight shot south through IL with a loop into Missouri and then into Tennessee.

Issue 1:  I had to take a “twoosy” a little after halfway there.  Now your options for bathrooms on a trip like this are limited to Rest stops, fast food joints, and gas station bathrooms.  One lesson I have learned is that oddly enough the  Rest stop restrooms are the cleanest hands down counter to what I would have guessed.  So I went into a rest stop to do my business and the stall door are unusually short but no one was in the bathroom so I stepped in.  Now by short I mean they have the usually one to two foot clearance on the bottom of the stall door but the top was about mid chest height.  So of course as soon as I sit down and let the toilet have it the bathroom fills up.  So I finish up wipe etc. and stand up and I am no joke eye to eye with another dude while Im pulling up my pants.  How awkward is that?  I thought the purpose of
the stall and stall door was for privacy and anonymity.  Now some dude has a close up look at my face to associate the noises and aroma coming from the stalls.

Issue 2: So although this is a tiny ass town Im in there is two pretty good places to eat in town.  One of which is a sandwich shop called a Sweetpepers.  Its all sorts of warm sandwiches like Rubens, Cubans, and various other meats on good breads like focaccia bread.  Here is the thing.  When you walk in you order like at any fast food counter.  I choose to dine at the restaurant which means I order at the counter and they bring the food to me much alike Culvers.  Now there is an option for tip on the receipt right away when you order and pay at the counter.  I passed because who am I tipping?  So I sit down and and a boy named Nate introduces himself as my server and brings me my food.  My drink I had to get myself because when you pay you get a cup to get your own drink.  So Im wondering is a tip necessary?  Well he did bring me my food and offer to be there if I needed anything.    I figured Id through him few bucks.  When I finished my sandwich I was full but had a slice of cheesecake so I wanted it to take it to go.  I stared at my server as he walked by several times and eventually started to read a paper behind the counter and flirt with his coworkers.  After about 5-10 minutes I walked my cheescake to the counter got my own to-go container and left no tip.

(Warning potential spoilers)  If you saw last nights episode of HIMYM you would see that they brought in Dr. Eliot Reed of Scrubs to the episode as a dermatoligist in addition to Brittany Spears as the receptionist.  It was all pretty funny as Ted was finally getting his butterfly tramp stamp removed.  There was something that may be a clue to the reveal as who will finally ended up as Teds wife and mother of the children from the original episodes.   I have to give credit to Trisha for this find because she is the one who noticed these subtle potential clues. 

1: Ted mentions he was soon to reveal the woman who would be the mother

2:  The dermatologist hasn’t been out for more than two minutes in many years except on St Patty’s Day

3: Ted found the umbrella someone in haste left behind at the bar on St Patty’s Day that was to be later found to be the umbrella of the mother.

 Coincedence? perhaps, or perhaps not.

Improv America the group that did the central train station freeze and various other freeze preformace art pieces have struck again.  This time it is in the form of a musical.  Enjoy

Bravo has done it again.  I just discovered another fine Bravo show called Quarterlife.  I have only seen two episodes and I’m already hooked.  Its like Dawson’s Creek the later years where a bunch of twenty somes who are all connected live out their dramatic and intertwined lives.  The Kooky part is they intermittently pause and do video blogs they seem to be reporting on a real site www.quarterlife.com.   Also I think the shows might be user written.
